Health - CAMHS - Responsive Adolescent and Children's Home-based treatment Team (ReACH)
The ReACH Team provides urgent and responsive mental health support for children and young people in the community or within a hospital setting.
The service is designed to offer quick assessment and short-term support during a mental health crisis or when additional support is needed.
How the service supports
The ReACH Team offers:
- Emergency and urgent mental health assessments
- Up to seven follow-up appointments in the community after attendance at services such as Pontefract Urgent Treatment Centre, Pinderfields Hospital, or other hospitals (for those registered with a Wakefield GP)
- Intensive home-based support to help prevent hospital admission or further decline in mental health
The team also supports children and young people when they are leaving hospital or in-patient services, helping to ensure a safe and supported transition back into the community.
